For decades books were my constant meal companions. 10-15 yrs ago I stopped bringing books to work and instead at lunch would read news on the internet. I vowed to get back to reading during lunch this year & it’s done wonders for my well being! News can wait.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

β€˜It’s a Heist’: Real Federal Auditors Are Horrified by DOGE WIRED talked to actual federal auditors about how government auditing worksβ€”and how DOGE is doing the opposite.

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse.

But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

The evil at your door The deportation action as regime change

Language used by individuals associated with the federal government who deported people without trial or due process to a concentration camp in El Salvador, defying a court order, has a specific resonance that, historically, has been used to change regime type.
